That's one of the tricky parts -- although we could temporarily
disable email notifications (really, it would be nice if Bugzilla had
better internal tools for that)

IIRC, there was some debate about particular details, perhaps with
some of the bibisect terms, etc.

File formats are a great example:
- Will we have a keyword for 'odf', or one for 'odt', 'odp', 'ods', etc..?
- How about for binary MSO formats?
- OOXML formats?
- etc..

Most people in QA (and nearly all users) aren't as familiar with the
filters as the devs are, so a naming structure that seems intuitive to
the devs might seem inconsistent to QA. Hopefully there's a happy
medium that's easy for everyone to learn/apply, and is useful for the
devs.

Best,
